Arrow Academy Zoology
A tail of personal growth writer-director ivan i.
tverdovsky s prize-winning sophomore feature (special prize of the jury at karlovy vary film festival, best picture at fantastic fest) deftly mixes the deadpan humour of aki kaurismäki with a poignant examination of social issues including loneliness and aging.
natasha is a middle-aged admin employee at a zoo where her female co-workers take pleasure in making fun of her.
she lives with her god-fearing mother and leads a dull existence without prospects, until one day she grows a tail.
medical examinations follow where she meets peter, a young radiologist and her dreary life is turned upside down.
described as kafka meets cronenberg (hollywood reporter) tverdovsky s film is a beautifully photographed portrait of eastern europe that recalls the recent new romanian cinema and features a brave and brilliant central performance from natalya pavlenkova.
